Hello,

I’m following along the book “Programming Phoenix >= 1.4” and Channels are brought up around page 200.

I’ve already played with LiveView prior to buying this book, and I understood that LiveView sits on top of the Channels concept.

Now that LiveView exists, does it make sens to use a Channel-only solution or are there no practical reasons to do so?

I’m asking since I can gather that Channels were a concept baked into the defaults, and those defaults have switched over to LiveView.

I’m wondering if it’s worth spending time learning Channels, or if I’d better spend my time implementing this portion of the book with straight LiveView (I’m fine doing both)

Thanks
